[Public-list] Glue for teak

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Roger,

We use West or MAS Epoxy prior to application the teak is wiped down with
lacquer thinner to remove most/all of teak oil and bond both pieces. The key
is not to have a dry joint. I have also used resorcinal(sp) which is two
part, it was $20 per pint in 97-98 timeframe, not sure of the cost today.

I have had good luck with West System.
 
As Bob said prepping the surface is very important. As usual, I have a  
unusual way I prep teak. A wire brush. liquid laundry soap, and lots of
water.
 
Wet the surface to be bonded then scrub using the wire brush and soap,  
scrubbing vigorously with the grain. This does two things, the soap removes
the  
wax and the brush gouges the wood leaving a rough bonding surface. 
 
The big drawback is you heed to let them dry for a day.
 
Well it works for me.
 
Mark
